If it's about the beam pattern being handed wrong for UK roads then as a 'temporary' fix you could mask the headlamps:

Our Westy still has LHD headlamps with something similar to this in place and we've never had a problem with the MOT.

Sounds like you have the near useless US spec lamps or aftermarket project zero's?

US spec lamps.....useless and no pattern. Not Euro spec that just need a beam bender sticker to comply.

WHS ^
We too have a LHD Westy and have passed its MOT no problem. Our lights are a bit dim though. Will change bulbs for the next MOT (due very soon) :shock:
